Bayley Promo
Bayley was very happy. She said just three weeks ago Paige tried to ruin their WrestleMania and her friendship with Sasha Banks, but she didn’t. Bayley said anyone who wants to face her… DING DONG — YA CAN’T! Because she beat everyone.
Bayley mocked Michael Cole for minute and called herself the best and they’re the “ultimate role models.” Bayley said they have two words for anyone who thought that she was breaking up with Banks: “Screw You.”
Then Tamina came out. Bayley said she could smell her from across the ring — and she smells great. Bayley was acting scared of Tamina. Then Snuka told Bayley to shut the hell up. She said nobody beat her at WrestleMania. It took all of the women to eliminate her. Then she challenged Bayley to a one-on-one title match.
Banks got in the way. She said that Tamina just came back from whatever coconut shell she’s been hiding in for a year. She can’t just come back and make demands. Bayley said she can have her match if Tamina can beat Sasha Banks. The Boss didn’t seem too thrilled about that.
Sheamus vs Cal Bloom
This was a straight-up enhancement match for Sheamus.
Winner: Sheamus
Sheamus took a moment and stared Corey Graves down before he left. That was a VERY interesting interaction especially since Graves just admitted that he considered trying to make a return to the ring.
They aired a Jeff Hardy video package that really built his character using childhood clips.
